Level-5 and GungHo Online Entertainment have just announced Yo-kai Watch World for smartphones and the best part of this news is that it’s out now for iOS store and Android on Google Play in Japan.

We have an overview of the game from the store pages and translated courtesy of Gematsu:

You are the Protagonist on an Adventure Set All over Japan

The many unique yo-kai of the Yo-kai Watch series like Jibanyan and Komasan appear in the real world. Search for and battle against the yo-kai that appear all over Japan. Complete your Yo-kai Encyclopedia by moving yourself or by getting other players to move.

First, “Search” for Yo-kai on the Map

In order to find nearby yo-kai, “Search” the location you’re at on the map. There are various yo-kai to be discovered depending on the location. Don’t forget to Search whenever you visit a new place.

Find Yo-kai with Your Smartphone Screen

Tap the icon of the yo-kai you discover through Search. By doing this, you will be able to see that yo-kai through your smartphone screen. Find yo-kai and pursue them so they don’t escape.

Battle Yo-kai with Simple Controls

When you Search for yo-kai, a battle will begin. Since battles are semi-automatic, they’re very simple. Use special moves when you have an opening or are in a pinch. By winning battles against a yo-kai, you may be able to befriend them. By training the yo-kai you befriend, you can battle even stronger yo-kai.

Possess Nearby Players

Your yo-kai can “Possess” nearby players. A possessor yo-kai can travel with the player it possesses to new areas. They might bring back a yo-kai from somewhere you couldn’t go on your own, or sometimes they even bring souvenirs. (Rest assured that your exact position will not be shown to nearby players.)

Plant “Yo-kai Trees” at Various Places

You can plant trees at your current location, as well as at places a possessor yo-kai visits. Yo-kai gather around trees, creating the opportunity for new encounters. Make proper use of Yo-kai Trees to increase the number of places you can befriend new yo-kai.

Plenty of Ways to Play

Yo-kai Watch World is full of other ways to play. From “Advent Bosses” you can enjoy anywhere, to “Departed Maps” where you can look back on your previous travels and more. How you play is up to you.

At this moment, there is no details if this game is coming worldwide to other countries. You can also check out the website for the game here and the announcement trailer below.

Thanks to CoroCoro, we have the first trailer for Yo-kai Watch 4. The video, posted below, doesn’t actually show a whole lot and lacks gameplay entirely. Still, it’s one of our first look at the RPG, which is heading to Switch in Japan later this year.

Here’s a transcript of what’s stated in the video:

Yo-kai Watch 4 was announced for Switch in April, but Level-5 hasn’t had much to say about it since then. Next week though, we’ll finally have a proper look at the game. The first trailer is expected on June 23.

Level-5 will also show a new Yo-kai Watch game during an event on June 27. This is said to be a shocking title, though signs point to it being a mobile game for now.

Inazuma Eleven Ares was originally intended for release this summer in Japan. Unfortunately, we’re now hearing that the game is seeing a delay.

Word out of the latest Japanese magazines is that Inazuma Eleven Ares has been pushed back to this fall. No specific date has been given, and it’s unclear why the delay has taken place.

Level-5 is bringing Layton’s Mystery Journey to Switch, according to the latest issue of Famitsu. It’ll be released as Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy DX.

When it was originally made for 3DS and mobile, the game featured touchscreen controls. For the Switch version, Level-5 is changing things to standard controls. Takara Tomy will have a Nazotoki toy ready that is compatible via NFC as well.

Yo-kai Watch Busters arrived in South Korea last week. What’s interesting is that, in the game’s credits, Nintendo of America is listed under the localization category.

This is sparking hope that Yo-kai Watch Busters will be released – or at least announced – for the North American and European markets. After all, if the localization already exists, wouldn’t it make sense to bring it over? With Nintendo looking to support 3DS into 2019, Yo-kai Watch Busters would be an easy way to bolster the lineup.
